December News

The great news from here at Wilson Kia (www.wilsonkia.com and www.facebook.com/wilsonkia), our YTD sales are up 88.3% over 2010!
At Wilson Hyundai (www.wilsonhyundai.net and www.facebook.com/wilsonhyundai ), our YTD sales are up 41.5%!

We thank everyone who helped make that possible from customers, employees and our great manufacturer partners who build such highly desirable vehicles. Our used car inventory is available at www.wilsonautos.com

In November we also opened "The Wilson Premier Collection" which is an upscale used car operation on "car row" along I-55 North in Madison County MS. (www.wilsonpremiercollection.com ) There we stock the nicest, most desirable cars in the world...usually 2-3 year old ones at up to 50% off their original price! It is going great and we have assembled a great team up there in sales as well as service.

Nationally, here is the automobile industry news:

For automakers and dealers, November sales were at their best monthly rate since August of 2009, when Cash for Clunkers was in full swing. The surge is partially credited to black Friday shoppers, who turned out at some of their highest levels in recent years to take advantage of great deals.
Hyundai’s sales were up 21.8 percent; Kia was up 39.1 percent; Nissan was up 21.5 percent; and Mercedes Benz had its best November ever with sales of 27,841 units, up 42.6 percent from a year ago. Toyota, well on its way to recovery from March’s earthquake and tsunami, was up 6.7 percent and picked up a point in market share. Honda continues to struggle, now with supply issues caused by flooding in Thailand, and saw sales fall 6.2 percent from November 2010.
“Bolstered by falling unemployment rates and attractive deals, consumers who had been deferring automotive purchases returned to dealerships in droves last month,” said AIADA President Cody Lusk. “Dealers are optimistic that last month’s numbers bode well for 2012.”
